Chapter 196: Confession
"I really didn't expect you to pass this third-layer test so quickly, originally I thought you had to reach at least the late stage of the triple before you could have the strength to pass, it seems that I underestimated you kid!"
Ren Qingtong looked at He Xuansheng who was standing in front of him with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but smile with relief, pointed to a chair beside him, and said, "Sit down first, there are some things that need to be explained to you." β
"The seniors are serious, I was able to pass this third-level assessment, to a large extent, I was lucky!"
He Xuansheng shook his head with a smile, came to sit down on the stool pointed by Ren Qingtong, and said, "Senior, what else do you have to explain to the junior?"
"There's no need to follow so many messy etiquette here!"
Ren Qingtong stretched out his hand and pushed a cup of tea in front of He Xuansheng, and said, "Taste it, are you used to drinking this tea?"
"Tea?"
He Xuansheng picked up the porcelain cup with a little doubt, and his face unconsciously revealed a touch of embarrassment.
Tea tasting, if it is your father or the master's generation to taste, you may really be able to taste it.
But in He Xuansheng's eyes, he hasn't reached the age of drinking tea yet!
Therefore, the knowledge of this area may be much lacking compared to the aspects of magic and weapons.
As soon as the lid of the cup was opened, a refreshing fragrance came to his face, and He Xuansheng's face suddenly improved a lot.
Although I don't have the fun of drinking tea now, my father and Grandpa Ying are two tea ghosts, and every time they meet, they inevitably have to drink a few pots of tea.
In addition to drinking tea, the biggest interest of the two is to force He Xuansheng, who stayed aside, to join this tea tasting army.
So from childhood to adulthood, He Xuansheng has also drunk a lot of tea, in all shapes, in all kinds, and even some extremely precious teas on the mainland, He Xuansheng has been fortunate to taste them.
It's just that He Xuansheng doesn't like the taste very much.
But this time the tea is a little different, the fragrance is something He Xuansheng has never felt for so many years.
The tea surface is clear and bottom-out, the tea is tender and green and translucent, and the tea leaves are long and flat like bowl nails, standing vertically, floating up and down in the clear water.
Take a sip, the entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is very strong, which makes the mouth and tongue relish.
"New tea?"
He Xuansheng looked at the small world in the teacup in front of him with a little surprise and asked.
"Exactly!"
Looking at He Xuansheng's appearance of tasting tea, Ren Qingtong and Jing Yuexin also smiled slightly, and also picked up the teacup and took a sip, with a touch of peace on their faces.
"The climate of the mainland is already ready for winter, why is there still new tea here?"
He Xuansheng asked in disbelief.
"Although it has been picked a long time ago, have you forgotten, this is the Temple of Nature, as the source of the power of nature in the whole continent, isn't there a little way to preserve items?"
Ren Qingtong smiled and said, "How does this tea feel?"
He Xuansheng shook the tea cup in his hand and said, "I don't have the ability to taste tea, but I have drunk a lot of tea since I was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that I have tasted all kinds of tea in the whole continent." β
"One thing is for sure, it's a good tea, and it's the best cup of tea I've ever had!"
"Hahaha, drinking tea and drinking tea, you still have a long way to go from the so-called tea ceremony!"
Ren Qingtong said with a smile, "When do you really understand the way contained in tea, and when will your understanding of nature be able to go to the next level!"
Saying that, Ren Qingtong poured himself another cup of tea, and said, "Getting back to the point, the third layer of the test, how do you feel?"
"In my opinion, the third layer of testing should be part of the forging body. β
He Xuansheng thought for a moment and said, "Ice and fire forging is the most arduous but most effective method of forging the body in the world, and the ice and fire forging after banning spiritual power has the most significant effect for the practitioner. β
"There are thousands of ways to forge the body in the world, and the most famous of them are the Ice and Fire Forging Body and the Five Thunder Forging Body. The Ice and Fire Forging tends to transform the inside of the body, while the Five Thunder Forging tends to the outside of the body. β
Ren Qingtong nodded and said, "Although you have now passed this third layer test, for you, this is not the end, but just the beginning." β
"I believe you can feel that there are two forces in your body right now, the Fountain of Extreme Cold and the Fountain of Extreme Heat. β
"Normally they just stay where they are, and they don't even release a little bit of spiritual energy, but with a little guidance, they will completely wake up and forge your body over and over again. β
"The degree of the Ice and Fire Forging you received during the test was only the slightest state, when you were able to achieve immunity to these two forces in the complete state, when you could be considered to have completed the Ice and Fire Forging. β
"Dare to ask the seniors, after completing the ice and fire forging body, the body ...... Will there be any changes?"
He Xuansheng put down the teacup he had been holding in his hand and asked.
"True Ice and Fire Forging, on the one hand, your body can switch between extreme heat and extreme cold at any time, and even your spiritual power will carry these two extremely terrifying energies. β
"On the other hand, your body has been thoroughly adapted to extreme heat and cold, so that also means ...... Fire and ice!"
"The real powerhouse, they must have their own set of forging methods in their hands. For you, simply forging your body with ice and fire can't meet the requirements of the Lord of Nature, so you have to rely on your own strength to find another kind of cultivation technique for forging your body. β
"Another way to forge the body?"
He Xuansheng was stunned and said, "What did the predecessor refer to, is it the Five Thunder Forging Body?"
"Among the other miscellaneous body forging methods, which one can be worthy of the future Lord of Nature?"
Ren Qingtong smiled and said, "Isn't there a family on the mainland that inherits the thunder attribute, go there and take a look, presumably they should have the five thunder forging method in their hands." β
"It is said that the five thunder forging body has been practiced to the fullest, and it is not even a problem to resist the heavenly thunder!"
Jing Yuexin on the side said softly, "The Five Thunder Forging Body and the Ice and Fire Forging Body are combined into one, so the real King Kong is not bad!"
"By the way, Xuan Sheng, how do you feel about the body that has undergone the initial ice and fire forging?"
Ren Qingtong pointed to He Xuansheng's body and asked.
"Like...... It didn't feel like ......."
He Xuansheng looked at his body and shook his head blankly.
"Don't move, press the spiritual power in your body, no matter what I do, don't move!"
Ren Qingtong chuckled, and with a wave of his right hand, a small knife came out of his hand, slid through a shining arc in mid-air, and flew straight towards He Xuansheng.
Looking at the sharp knife that was about to touch him, although He Xuansheng subconsciously wanted to release his spiritual power to defend, but out of trust in Ren Qingtong, he still forcibly suppressed the subconscious approach in his mind, and let the blade of the knife hit his body.
"Dingβ"
With a crisp sound, He Xuansheng was a little surprised to find that the knife had bounced back after touching his body.
"Dang Chang" fell to the ground, and his body did not change at all.
"Although there is still a long way to go before King Kong is not bad, at least an ordinary weapon that does not exert spiritual power should not be able to hurt you!"
Ren Qingtong said with a smile, "The method of forging the body has been refined to the fullest, not to mention this kind of knife, even if it is a high-grade weapon, it can't easily hurt you!"
............
By the time He Xuansheng woke up, it was already night.
Although the time spent on the third-layer test was not too long, Later, He Xuansheng also asked Ren Qingtong about many cultivation problems in that space, so it had been a full day since He Xuansheng entered that space this time.
"Are you awake?"
A voice suddenly remembered from the side, He Xuansheng was stunned at first, and then said a little helplessly: "Ling Lan, can you not always scare me like this, that black mess, I thought it was haunted!"
"Hey, hey, hey, sorry!"
With a sound of rustling, the originally dark bedroom was suddenly filled with lights again.
Ling Lan turned on the light and crawled back into her bed, looked at He Xuansheng, who was a little tired on his face, and asked, "Where did you go before?"
"Me?"
He Xuansheng shook his head and said, "Haven't I been here all along?"
"People are here, but I can clearly feel that your spirit is no longer here. β
Ling Lan said seriously, "Before I spoke just now, you gave me the feeling that I was an empty shell without a soul, but not long ago, I clearly felt that your spiritual power was suddenly filled with this body, so although you have been staying here, the soul should go somewhere else!"
Saying that, Ling Lan jumped out of bed all of a sudden, jumped onto He Xuansheng's bed in a few steps, and said expectantly: "Is your soul able to enter any space? It's just a day, and I feel that your spiritual power and vitality are much stronger!"
For Ling Lan's words, He Xuansheng's eyes also widened in surprise. He never expected that the first person to notice his incident would be Ling Lan, whose cultivation was far inferior to his own.
But on the other hand, he was even more surprised by Ling Lan's almost terrifying spiritual perception!
"Hey, hey, don't be nervous, I won't eat you again!"
Ling Lan said and jumped off He Xuansheng's bed, saying, "These are just my guesses, don't take it to heart if you guess wrong!"
Looking at He Xuansheng's eyes, which were still a little shocked, Ling Lan scratched her head a little embarrassedly, and said, "That, did I touch your privacy!"
"Hahaha, Ling Lan, you guy is really amazing!"
He Xuansheng laughed out loud and said, "Although what you said is not too much of a fault, but specifically, I'm sorry, I can't tell you!"
"It's okay, I'll ask!"
Ling Lan hurriedly waved her hand, and was about to go to bed to rest, when she suddenly said, "Oh yes, Qi Lingxiao came to look for you during the day, I told him that you are not in the dormitory, you should go and find him tomorrow, I always feel that he is weird!"
"Ling Xiao, what's wrong with him?"
"I don't know if I'm wrong, before the freshman qualifying, his cultivation was obviously only about one heavy eight turns, but today during the day, he ......"
Thinking of this, Ling Lan's face still showed a hint of surprise, and he said, "In just two days, in my perception, his cultivation has actually broken through to the second level!"
